OH YEAH :D

LED grafitti marketting is cool.
Saw some hot examples of that when I was trawling for some nice thing to manufacture for X-mas last year.

lol @
...the police found that the device shared "some characteristics with improvised explosive devices", except the actual explosive. These characteristics included an identifiable power source, circuit board with exposed wiring, and electrical tape...
hey, that is my PC they are describing! ;)

I must be a terrorist myself....scary.

you being from sweden...how did you hear about this Boston cock-up?

I never heard of it and I think I keep regular tabs on events and global news.

(Obama is wining / Kenians are killing each other / recession is pending)

It was a rather major news item. The anniversary stuff is through blogs. (The “never forget” thing, and others along the same line, turned up almost immediately after the event.)

A while back (I can't remember if it was in a thread or a PM) I asked Dr Nil if it would be OK to use his billboard model in a forthcoming OXP, in exchange for (obviously) a credit in the readme and a couple of Outrider ads (which I needed to do anyway). I don't think I had a response, but here are the ads... I've not done this before, but I understand the file size for a pair of ads should be 256x256, so I've reduced it to that (will make the logo/small print illegible, but hey). Hope they're up to scratch - "art" isn't exactly my forte!

Phooey. I was all set to do an advert for a soap powder with the amusing name "Woolite" when I find that the bloody stuff actually exists.

Well, there's always Ooriel, SOorf, CalGOon, DOoz (no wait, that sounds a little bit very wrong).

Ah! True... I got too wrapped up in the original gag. Or Take the Poorsil Challenge: "I thought I'd never get those Quirium stains out of my flightsuit! Thank you Poorsil!"
